Full? No, of course not. But we do have a badly implemented immigration policy and poor border controls. I

s it unsustainable? We could argue that point all day long, but I personally believe that this country accepts too many migrants. Doctors, nurses, professionals and the required trades folk? Yes please, if they are of good moral standing and not of poor health. Poorly educated no marks who aren't able to contribute? No thanks.

Probably the only decent thing Cameron has done regarding immigration is over the Syria crisis, trying to ensure people are fully vetted before arriving and are being taken from the camps near the affected area rather than just allowing folk in and worrying about the consequences after the fact.

As a country, we sadly appear more than capable of breeding enough of these already..

To be fair though;

Population of Canada - 36 million

Population of Australia - 24 million

Population of UK - 65 million

ie we have more people on this island than Canada and Australia combined.
That is a mental statistic, Canada here we come!!!

Birth control will never be on the agenda for population control in the UK any more than it will be on the agenda to curb 'climate change'.

Peoples 'right' to have kids overrides all other considerations.
It's more than that though. If people do still manage to have children (which, barring genital mutilation will remain a possibility regardless of birth control ) what happens to the illegal child? The only way to enforce the law would be at the detriment of a child that hasn't done anything wrong.

I am still to this day at a loss as to why we do not have a proper form of testing for anyone wanting to come into this country on a semi permanent or permanent basis.
Something along the lines of Americas citizenship.. but for a country with a generally higher IQ.......

Do you have a point to make?
Does he ever?
Nope!

Pathetic.
The irony contained in these nested quoted is not lost on this poster.
Care to elaborate?

FredClogs made an utterly pointless and sarcastic statement, and several posters including myself chastised him for it.

His 'point' regarding us complaining about immigration numbers whilst buying 'foreign' items is completely and utterly irrelevant. Every country imports/buys things from each other, and this has precisely zero to do with immigration/migration.

So in short, I have no idea why he bothered to post it.

Well, you laugh about the Americans, but at least they have a strict immigration system.

If you or I wanted to move to the US next week and find a job, we simply wouldn't be able to do it. The only way we would be allowed in is if we made a huge financial contribution to the country, married a citizen, or were invited there by a company who have proved that our skills are so vital that they can't get them from a citizen already living there.

Very strict indeed.

Yes, they have a lot of illegal immigrant, but that's a separate matter of the current laws now being enforced correctly for various reasons.

Why is it that if you say anything about population levels, you're immediately racist/xenophobe/extreme right wing/etc etc?

It's nothing to do with racism. It's simply numbers. You can't pour a quart into a pint pot, not without it spilling and making a mess. But those who think that are immediately ridiculed by those who believe we should just leave the borders open and let however many more people want to, come in.
Excellent point.

Sadly many people are just thick as fk and have been trained in the art of the "dats racist" knee-jerk reaction.

This has nothing to do with other races. Pure numbers, even an expat family coming back after 20 years living elsewhere. If the place is full, its full. They, equally, shouldn't be allowed back in as they'd put exactly the same demands on the system as any A.N.Other from any other country.

Perhaps Microsoft have a filter to block out your pathetic posts.
More advanced (read stuff available many many years ago) forum software has the ability for you to simply hide posts made by specific people you place on a block list. Nice and easy, though it can disjoint some conversations. Not sure if this place has it.

Ask the population of Britain if the country is full - their answer will be telling.

Tens of thousands is manageable - hundreds of thousands is a recipe for trouble ahead.

It is incredibly childish to start throwing accusations of racism/EDL/Britain First/BNP around in a discussion like this when it is simply a matter of numbers, economics and quality of life. It has nothing to do with race.

TBH, it's not even just bare numbers.

If successive governments had spend a bit more on infrastructure, not let Swampy and the other flat-earthers derail progress, we'd perhaps have transport, education and health infrastructure in place to deal with our growing population.

I think we lack housing and infrastructure to support everyone and much of the population and economy is packed into the SE of England.

So I don't know if we are 'full' or not. However I don't think it is unreasonable to attempt to reduce the number of people coming here until we have got a grip on the lack of affordable housing, decent schools, hospital beds and so on.

Looks like both are busy while those who like to taint anyone expressing an opinion as racist, straight out the blocks.
Yawn.

Another who just can't wait to read something that's not been written.

Checks ARE made on those who wish to settle here from outside the EU - that's another problem, we can't deny access to any non contributors from the EU but those from outside it who want to apply legitimately and have something to offer have many a hoop to jump through.
